REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF THE USE OF IDENTIFIED METHODS TO DISPOSE OF REAL PROPERTY (JOINT CONSIDERATION WITH THE PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL). Mr. Greenwood explained that with the dissolution of redevelopment agencies a few years back, cities are required to dispose of all properties owned by the agencies. The City Manager has set a goal to complete disposal of the numerous properties that Palm Desert's Successor Agency owns by June 30, 2018. In order to expedite the process, staff would like Council to approve the identified methods for disposal of those properties. Staff is recommending that each property would be sold through one of three methods, either through a sealed bid process, an auction process, or sale through the open market in a normal real estate transaction. Staff intends to focus on the sealed bid and auction process, because they afford certainty and time, allowing staff to conduct these sales before the deadline of June 30, 2018. Staff recommended approval of the methods 3 RESOLUTION NO. OB-166 MINUTES -SPECIAL- MEETING OF THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETING SEPTEMBER 7, 2017 mentioned, and allow the City Managerto determine which method applies to each property.

REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION FOR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE A LETTER OF OBJECTION TO THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION REGARDING NOMINATION OF THE MILES BATES HOUSE LOCATED AT 73697 SANTA ROSA WAY TO BE LISTED ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES (APN 627-102-024). Director Weber recused herself from this item, stating she serves on the Board of the Historical Society and left the Council Chamber. Mr. Greenwood stated the Miles Bates house is located on Santa Rosa Way, which is an architecturally significant house, a one -of -a -kind building with a very unique roof. The house is owned by the Successor Agency to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency. He went on to say the Council had expressed a desire to see that house renovated and preserved in it's architecturally significant state, and in support of that request, staff started the process to have a local historic designation placed on the house. However, the Historical Society has hired an expert to have the house listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Staff has spoken to several renovation experts interested in mid-century modern houses through a recent open house, which was very successful. Those experts, including staff, felt the ridged rules to restore it to its exact original condition were not financially viable. The experts and staff view this as a sympathetic renovation, preserving the unique characteristics of the house, while making it a viable useable building. Therefore, staff does not recommend supporting the national designation. Chair Harnik noted she spoke with Executive Director Lisa Vossler-Smith from Modernism Week, who said the open house was wildly successful and there is a lot of interest in the house, adding she felt staff was going in the right direction. Director Nestande moved to, by Minute Motion, authorize Executive Director to execute a letter of objection to the Office of Historic Preservation regarding nomination of the Miles Bates House located at 73697 Santa Rosa Way to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places for APN 627-102-024. Motion was seconded by Kelly and carried by a 4-0 vote (AYES: Jonathan, Kelly, Nestande, and Harnik; NOES: None; ABSENT: Weber). XII. PUBLIC HEARINGS None 3 RESOLUTION NO.

Ms. Donna Craig, Senior Program Officer with the Desert Healthcare District and Foundation stated that Coachella Valley Association of Governments and the District established a $2 million Collective Fund, stating every city that puts in $103,000 into CVAG's West Navigation Program, which is now called CV Housing First, the District matches the contribution.

Ms. Cheryl) Dahlin Management Analyst for CVAG with the Homelessness Committee, extended her appreciation to the City of Palm Desert for supporting the CV Housing First Program, specifically, Mayor Pro Tem Jonathan for his leadership, adding he is the Chair of the Homelessness Committee and has been reappointed as the Chair for Fiscal Year 3 RESOLUTION NO. OB-166 MINUTES —ADJOURNED REGULAR SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETING— NOVEMBER 16, 2017 2017/2018. The Program has received matching funds for the cities of Palm Springs and Cathedral City, and for the first time, the cities of Coachella and Desert Hot Springs have contributed the full amount of $103,000 respectively, and Agua Caliente Casino will be contributing $30,000 for their first time. Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chair Jonathan stated this was a situation where it took a lot of stakeholders, care providers, and caring individuals that for various reasons want to alleviate homelessness, and they came together in a way that's never been done before. They are now able to implement a regional approach to fighting homelessness, which the Committee believes will be more effective than what has been done in the past. The entire Valley is working together, contracting with Path of Life Ministries for a housing first type model that has proven success, but the Valley has not done that before, and to boot, thanks to the County the program now has a mental health facility by using Roy's Resource Center, which is being re -purposed. He asked everyone to keep their fingers crossed, because they are hoping for success. E. PRESENTATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL BY THE COACHELLA VALLEY MOSQUITO AND VECTOR CONTROL DISTRICT REGARDING INVASIVE MOSQUITO SPECIES IDENTIFIED IN PALM DESERT. Mr. Doug Walker stated he was the City's Liaison on the Coachella Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District Board. He introduced Jeremy Wittie, General Manager for the District, adding he has been on the professional staff at the District for nine years, and six of those years he served as the Scientific Operations Manager, and for the past two years as the General Manager. Unfortunately, there has been an invasive mosquito that has moved into our area and Mr. Wittie will provide an update and current status on that mosquito. Mr. Wittie stated that since 2011, the State of California has had several invasive Aedes mosquitos moving across California throughout the Central Valley, and now unfortunately, in Riverside County. The Aedes Aegypti, commonly known for Yellow Fever Mosquito, was detected in the City of Coachella last year in May. Since that time, it has been discovered in seven of the Coachella Valley cities, including Mecca. Unlike urban mosquitoes native to the Valley, this one is black and white, it loves to bite people, adding it originated in the jungles biting primates. It also lays its eggs in containers, which is their primary place, and the eggs are desiccant resistant, meaning they don't dry out. He said you can have eggs at the bottom of a container and someone can move that container from Palm Desert to Palm Springs and fill it with water, and its like sea monkeys, you can have instant mosquitos; it's a worldwide challenge to control. In the City of Palm Desert, 4 RESOLUTION NO. OB-166 MINUTES —ADJOURNED REGULAR SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETING— NOVEMBER 16, 2017 there is an extensive grid of surveillance traps across the Valley from Desert Hot Springs to the Salton Sea. On December 20, the District detected this mosquito off Parkview Drive between Monterey Avenue and Highway 111. The District began their door-to-door inspections, which involved technicians inspecting front and back yards, eliminating standing water sources, providing treatments, and educating the residents. Currently, the District has conducted 750 door-to-door inspections in Palm Desert, and they have been setting up surveillance traps. He displayed a map of the two areas they are focused where they detected the mosquitos, which is Parkview near College of the Desert and the Portola Avenue area. These new surveillance traps are not fancy, but they are designed to catch this type of mosquito. He shared pictures of what the traps looked like, because they can be mistaken for a bomb, so they have been working with law enforcement to educate them about the traps and the labeling on them. He said this was a nasty mosquito, and it's a mammal biter and day biter. He said it's a mosquito that can transmit life threatening viruses including Dengue, Chikungunya, Zika, and Yellow Fever, which have globally impacted much suffering, including fatalities. Unlike the West Nile Virus which is transmitted between birds and mosquito, this mosquito is a human mosquito cycle. People who travel a lot to South America and Asia can bring those viruses back with them. The District will be providing additional educational information for those that travel on the things they can do to prevent them from being bitten by mosquitos, and when they do return, keep using repellant to make sure they are not being bitten by mosquitoes that could potentially pick up that virus. Again, these are aggressive day biters, so the residents can help by eliminating containers that hold standing water under potted plants, in bird baths, pet bowls, discarded tires, etc., stating they are all potential places where this mosquito can breed. He is calling on the public to do their part for the next two or three years as they tackle this mosquito to keep it contained and potentially eliminated. The City has been working with the District in getting information out, which he appreciated. The District has a history of working with Public Works on catch basins, which they will continue to monitor. He said the public can call the District at 760-342-8287 for additional information or go online at www.cvmvcd.ora. Councilmember/Director Nestande asked why mosquitos chose those two areas in Palm Desert to breed. Mr. Wittie responded it most likely had to do with standing water in containers. However, based on detections, they are showing up along major thoroughfares throughout the Valley at locations where people from all areas come together. For example, El Paseo, the mall, and highly traffic intersections. He said females mosquitoes can jump in a car and go for a ride into other locations, adding that was his rationale for why they may be in specific areas. 5 RESOLUTION NO. OB-166 MINUTES -ADJOURNED REGULAR SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETING- NOVEMBER 16, 2017 IX. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS - B MR. CHARLES RIGGS, Board Chair for the Sister Cities Foundation, announced this was the 35th Anniversary of their partnership with Gisborne, New Zealand, where the City of Palm Desert sent a Mayoral Citation and some beautiful photography that was mounted on metal plates, suitable for handing, to the Sister City in Gisborne. Now, he received a package from them, it's a beautiful Jade status symbol from the indigenous people of New Zealand and a Mayoral Citation, which states that Jade symbolizes strength, leadership, unity, and pride. He hoped it can be showcased in the lobby area of City Hall. The gift was in commemoration of the 35-year relationship. MR. DOUG GALLOWAY, Palm Desert Youth Sports Association, the Association is the baseball league for children ages 5 through 14, and they play most of their games at Civic Center Park. He said the condition of the baseball fields have always been good, but currently, they are in stellar condition, the grass is a deep emerald green. He thanked staff because the fields are in their finest condition. Additionally, the Association was approached to possibly combine the Opening Day Event, which draws up to 2,000+ people each March, with the City's Health Expo and Safety Preparedness Event. They have had two very fruitful meetings, and he believed there will be an item before the City Council to consider regarding the Opening Day Event. Mayor/Chair Harnik added it was one of the most wonderful community events the City has annually, and she encouraged the public to attend. Mayor Pro TemNice Chair Jonathan said he has similarly noticed the condition of the parks, thanking Landscape Supervisor Randy Chavez and crew for an outstanding job.
